If you're hacking buildit how about doing it the other way around,
take a filesystem of a known size with your files on it and use df
(or dd + wc) to see how much free space there is.
OTOH: There's noting to stop the '1/*' filesystem being something
else ext2, msdos, etc etc. (PS: Yes msdos can work with lilo)
